Hey,
I'm new to ngSkinTools and currently trying to install the 2016 version. I put the folder into the OSX Location /Users/Shared/Autodesk/ApplicationAddins/ngskintools but nothing is showing up. When I browse for the ngSkinTools.bundle it appears in the Plug-in Manager but disappears after reopening Maya. Also no button for the shelf shows up. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you for answers :)

Hi,
Seems like Autoloader is not picking up ngSkinTools package for some reason. Is "autoloader" plugin enabled? Have you extracted folder in such a way that there's a /Users/Shared/Autodesk/ApplicationAddins/ngskintools/PackageContents.xml file available?--

Hey,
The autoloader Plugin is enabled. And the PackageContents.xml file is located as you wrote. But It's not showing up. I installed other plugins before, also via autoloader and it worked perfectly fine. I am kinda clueless about why it is not working.

hm.. not neglecting the possibility there's something wrong with OSX package. I rarely test there, unless some error report comes through. I'll try to have a look, registered as https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/153345859 for now. There's been some autoloader related issues in the past and they're usually very hard to troubleshoot, it works for some users and do not for others.
print "-------------------------------------------"
import sys;
from maya import cmds;
ngstPath = [i for i in sys.path if "ngskintools" in i.lower()]
print "Checking python path:"
print "\n".join(ngstPath) if ngstPath else "ngSkinTools not in path"
print "Checking plugin path:"
import os
ngstPluginPath = [i for i in os.getenv("MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH").split(os.path.pathsep) if "ngskintools" in i.lower()]
print "\n".join(ngstPluginPath) if ngstPluginPath else "ngSkinTools not in plugin path"
print "loading plugin:"
result = cmds.loadPlugin('ngSkinTools')
print "plugin loaded:", cmds.pluginInfo('ngSkinTools', q=True, path=True)
from ngSkinTools.ui.mainwindow import MainWindow
MainWindow.open()
print "-------------------------------------------"
import sys;
from maya import cmds;
ngstPath = [i for i in sys.path if "ngskintools" in i.lower()]
print "Checking python path:"
print "\n".join(ngstPath) if ngstPath else "ngSkinTools not in path"

import os
ngstPluginPath = [i for i in os.getenv("MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH").split(os.path.pathsep) if "ngskintools" in i.lower()]
print "\n".join(ngstPluginPath) if ngstPluginPath else "ngSkinTools not in plugin path"
print "loading plugin:"
result = cmds.loadPlugin('ngSkinTools')
print "plugin loaded:", cmds.pluginInfo('ngSkinTools', q=True, path=True)
from ngSkinTools.ui.mainwindow import MainWindow
MainWindow.open()
print "-------------------------------------------"
Run above and copy/paste results back.
Thanks!
